A few have written to me about ideas for letters of introduction or a canvassing letter – something to include with your brochure that tells the potential customer a little about your services. In my introduction letter I choose to focus on my eRep site, but depending on your area you may opt to focus on a different service – such a free beauty consultation, free samples, or a make-over. You can download this letter below – I hope it is helpful!

I am just taking a moment to give tribute to Benazir Bhutto… a beautiful woman in so many ways who gave hope to so many people.While I realize that what I am about to write may not seem meaningful to some – I am writing this as a tiny something that made me smile (just a little) in the middle of such a tragedy.London paper, the Daily Mail, showed pictures of some of Benazir Bhutto’s final moments, as she prepared for the political rally leading to her death.In one picture it showed her applying lip color, from a tube, just before embarking – she was applying this herself – not a Hollywood-style primping some political figures may be accustomed to. That very picture made me think of who she was more than any other image I have seen… it made me pause to think of her bravery, and her strength, and yes, her beauty.For me, the idea that her lip color of choice was often bright and beautiful red symbolizes something – something which unfortunately I am only writing about now in her death – but it reminds me that she was very strong and intelligent and brave and bold and with all of that she was not afraid to be beautiful too.Again, with this post I am not concentrating on the lip color and cosmetics… I am concentrating on what it symbolizes for me about her persona.What an amazing person… what a tragedy…
